So is the issue that you do not know what to put for your 2018 AGI?

Your 2018 tax return shows your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

 

Form 1040        line 7

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Home for 2018

If entering the amount from your 2018 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2018 AGI may not be in the system.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.

I do not have my 2018 AGI and can’t find my 2018 tax record so I said I didn’t file and am worried that I could get in trouble

@xmlesage Stop stressing about it.  That answer does not go on your tax return.  It only goes into the software, which is working toward letting you e-file.  If you did not know your 2018 AGI it is okay to use "zero" in the software in an attempt to e-file.  But if zero does not work--and sometimes it does not---then you have to print, sign and mail the return.
